Once you get over a certain amount of capital it becomes hard to effectively allocate it.If you don't run into that with 1mil, you will as you keep progressing.I think you owe it to the family to speak honestly to that.That's the reason most large institutional investors have a hard time in the SFH world and focus on larger, lower cap rate investments.

Their priorities, focus, and models of investing  might match up better with you.I loved this article today (yeah it's click bait and fluffy as all get out but it demonstrates for me the true power of real estate investing over the years) -   https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kushner-paid-no-federal-income-tax-for-years-documents-suggest/ar-BBOkaOq?
